What does it take to create a premium alcohol-free wine? Not just great winemaking. Not just advanced dealcoholisation technology. It takes both. Together with IWSC - Club Oenologique, we hosted an insightful discussion featuring Christian Nett (Weingut Bergdolt-Reif & Nett), Katja Bernegger (ZERONIMO), Rachel M. (Oceano Wines | Zero) and Claudia Geyer, CTO of Solos Technology. Moderated by our Brand Ambassador, Irem Eren WA, DipWSET, to discuss how innovation, craftsmanship and changing consumer expectations are shaping the future of No & Low wine. We've captured the key themes in our latest article, and you can watch the full discussion here. https://lnkd.in/eJZt9RNW #NoLowWine #AlcoholFreeWine #WineIndustry #Winemaking #Dealcoholisation #WineTechnology #IWSC
About us
Alcohol-free wine is an emerging trend in the wine industry and is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. This segment still holds several challenges, the main one of which is the loss of flavors and aroma during the delocalization process. Solos breakthrough proprietary technology allows us to collect, standardize, and concentrate fragrances from various side streams and bring them to the highest quality.

Thank you, Sid Patel and London Competitions for this interview. As No & Low Category Ambassador for London Competitions, I am very happy to contribute to the conversation around how we evaluate, produce and build this still-evolving category. In the interview, I share my perspective on dealcoholization techniques, aroma recovery, product identity and what producers should consider when creating wines that are not only alcohol-free, but also relevant, enjoyable and true to their style. I feel very fortunate to be involved in different projects across the category, including my work with Solos, where I focus on dealcoholization and aroma recovery, and with BORN ROSÉ BARCELONA , where I am involved in commercial strategy and No & Low product development. Each project gives me a different perspective and helps me understand the category from production, brand, commercial and judging angles. Thank you to everyone involved in bringing this interview to life.

From dealcoholization methods to buyer psychology, an expert's view from the judging table. No & Low wine has moved past novelty status, but judging it fairly remains one of the hardest problems in the category — there's no Burgundy or Barolo to measure it against. Irem Eren WA, DipWSET, has built her career at the centre of that challenge, as Head of Sales & Market Development at BORN ROSÉ Barcelona and a Brand Ambassador for Solos Technology, working across production, category strategy, and international judging. In this interview, Eren takes us behind the glass: how the dealcoholization technique becomes a style decision, why "craft" tips into "correction," and what producers keep getting wrong about who they're actually building for. Irem Eren is also a No and Low expert for London Competitions, and in this interview we chat with her, where she gives insights for No and Low producers on how our judges and she evaluate the No & Low category.

Every winery's journey into No & Low is different. At Ratos a la Fresca in Rioja, hosted by Cooperativa Señorío de la Estrella, we introduced local producers to our White Label wines through a tasting led by Enric Casanovas lopez. A great opportunity to experience how premium, ready-to-market alcohol-free wines can help wineries expand into the category with confidence. #WhiteLabel #NoLow #AlcoholFreeWine #WineInnovation #AromaRecovery #Wine #Rioja #Vinosinalcohol #Vinodesalcoholizado #Vino

Every bottle has a story. Preserving it is where the real challenge begins. Our recent workshop with Vivelys brought together wine professionals for a hands on exploration of what it takes to create premium alcohol free wines without compromising the character of the original. Through technical sessions and tastings, we explored the connection between winemaking, aroma recovery and sensory quality, while exchanging perspectives on the future of the No & Low category. Thank you to everyone who joined us. We enjoyed sharing the experience with you. #wine #winemaking #dealcoholization #aromarecovery #wineinnovation #oenology #nolodrinks

Great conversations start with great questions. How do you remove alcohol without compromising aroma, flavour, texture, and character? Thank you to Sid Patel and the International Bulk Wine & Spirits Show (IBWSS) team for inviting Matthew Hughes and Ella Carter, MBA to share how aroma recovery is helping shape the next generation of premium No & Low beverages. We look forward to continuing the conversation at IBWSS later this month.
Honestly this conversation with Solos was one of the most interesting ones we've had. Sid Patel, Founder, International Bulk Wine & Spirits Show (IBWSS) sat down with Matthew Hughes and Ella Carter, MBA from Solos to talk about something the NoLo category doesn't discuss enough - how do you actually take the alcohol out without ruining the product? And this line from the interview just stuck with us: "We're not rebuilding products. We are capturing. It's aroma capture, not aroma creation." The best NoLo products aren't being reconstructed from scratch - the good stuff is being captured and preserved before it's ever lost. 🎥 Full webinar here → https://lnkd.in/dmRg8vYA Matthew is coming to International Bulk Wine & Spirits Show (IBWSS) San Francisco this July to go even deeper on this at his closing keynote on Day 1: Beyond Proof: Crafting Authenticity and Creating Value in NoLo Wines & Spirits Through Innovation 📅 July 28–29, 2026 | South San Francisco Conference Center 🎟 Grab tickets to Matthew's session → https://lnkd.in/dsqTbfAF

Recognition continues to reinforce what's possible in premium alcohol-free wine. From Falstaff Verlags-GmbH recognition, Austrian Zero Award and MUNDUS VINI Gold to a nomination in the USA Today Top 10 Readers' Choice Awards, ZERONIMO continues to demonstrate that exceptional craftsmanship and innovation are redefining expectations across the No & Low category. Among its portfolio, Century Blend stands out as one of the category's most remarkable achievements. A wine aged for more than two decades before dealcoholization, it challenges the assumption that complexity, structure, and longevity depend on alcohol. The combination of exceptional craft, generations of wine expertise, and Solos' advanced dealcoholization and aroma recovery technology makes this unique experience possible without alcohol. A different perspective on what alcohol-free wine has already become. #NoLow #AlcoholFreeWine #WineInnovation #Dealcoholization #AromaRecovery #Wine
